INGREDIENTS
 

  • 2 extra firm tofu blocks, (900 g)
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 sheet of nori seaweed
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 15 g beets, raw
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • ½ small garlic clove
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 3 nori sheets, to simulate salmon skin
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Blend the vegetable broth, 1 sheet of nori seaweed, apple cider vinegar, beets, miso paste, garlic, salt and turmeric. Reserve.
  • Pat-dry the tofu blocks (you can cover them with a kitchen towel and place a wooden board to drain as much water as possible). Cut a block into 4 equal parts (lengthwise). Take one of the 4 parts (lengthwise) and make small cuts with an angle (45 °) to simulate a flaky texture, but without touching the base (you can place a chopstick next to the piece of tofu to keep you from cutting all the way through). Repeat the same process with the rest of the tofu.
  • Marinate the tofu in the previous sauce overnight or even 24 hours (make sure to shake it a couple of times so that it is completely impregnated with the sauce).
  • Take the marinated tofu and optionally place a strip of seaweed on the uncut side of the tofu (slightly soak the seaweed in the marinade so that it sticks better to the tofu).
  • If you want your vegan salmon fillet to be slightly crispy, sprinkle a little cornstarch on all sides.
  • Heat up some olive oil and fry the salmon fillets evenly on all sides.
